this is tough one. trumpeter DONALD BYRD began playing hard bop as a teenager and progressed through soul-jazz, funk and disco phases. while one hesitates to employ the cliche "it's all good" his quality level is remarkably high. process of elimination: I'm gonna pick one album from each phase and then try to narrow down to one. mostly this is an excuse to peruse and cherry-pick his excellent and varied discography. gonna be hard not to go with the mizzell bros production from the 70s, which i predict will win, but you never know.
